slash - paradise city (live at the roxy, 25/9/14) lyrics

[chorus]
take me down to the paradise city
where the grass is green and the girls are+ sing it!
(oh, won’t you please take me home?)
take me down to the paradise city
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
(oh, won’t you please take me home?)

[instrumental break]

[verse 1]
just an urchin livin’ under the street, i’m a
hard case that’s tough to beat
i’m your charity case, so buy me somethin’ to eat
i’ll pay you at another time
take it to the end of thе line

[verse 2]
rags to riches, or so they say, ya gotta
keep pushin’ for thе fortune and fame, you know
it’s all a gamble when it’s just a game
you treat it like a capital crime
everybody’s doin’ the time

[chorus]
take me down to the paradise city
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
oh, won’t you please take me home?
take me down to the paradise city
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
take me home
[verse 3]
strapped in the chair of the city’s gas chamber
why i’m here, i can’t quite remember
the surgeon general says it’s hazardous to breathe
i’ll have another cigarette, but i can’t see
tell me who you’re gonna believe

[guitar solo]

[bridge]
so far away, sing it!
(so far away)
so far away
so far away

[verse 4]
captain america’s torn apart, now
a court jester with a broken heart, he said
“turn me around, take me back to the start”
i must be losin’ my mind, “are you blind?”
i seen it all a million times
[chorus]
take me down to the paradise city
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
(oh, won’t you please take me home?)
take me down to the paradise city
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
oh, won’t you please sing us out?

(take me down to the paradise city)
(where the grass is green and the girls are pretty)
oh, won’t you please take me home?
take me down to the paradise city
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
oh, won’t you please take me home?
home

[guitar solo]

[bridge]
i wanna go, i wanna know
oh, won’t you please take me home?
i wanna see how good it can be
oh, won’t you please take me home?

[guitar solo]
[outro]
i wanna know, i wanna know
oh, won’t you please take me home?
i wanna see how good it can be
oh, won’t you please take me home?
yeah, that’s right
thank you so much

[instrumental outro]

[spoken word]
